Martin Scorsese will direct and produce a HBO documentary about former President Bill Clinton's perspectives on world issues, according to a news release.

Clinton has offered full cooperation with the production, which will tackle his takes on history, politics and culture, while he was in the White House as well as in the years that followed.

“Through intimate conversations, I hope to provide greater insight into this transcendent figure,” Scorsese said in the release.

This would be Scorsese's fourth collaboration with the network, but among his first studies of U.S. politics. In 2010, he showcased the compelling personality of witty author Fran Lebowitz with the documentary "Public Speaking." Last year, he made "George Harrison: Living in the Material World," which stands among the director's many profiles of musicians over the years. Scorsese won an Emmy for directing the pilot of "Boardwalk Empire," on which he serves as executive producer.
